What is “Topping/Bottoming” for Lesbians? (w/ Award-Winning Writer Carmen Machado) | WHGS Ep. 323

This episode is lively, listener! Nico Carney is a comedian, writer, and actor, whose new hour-long special ‘WEE LAD’ is now out on Youtube. We discuss the genders TikTok commenters assign us, straight men with masculine wives, and facing uncertainty before transition. Jen’s parents accidentally see way too much of Ashley’s boobs, Nico shares an insightful story about confronting people from your past, and Freddie talks about the similarities between sex and improv.

This episode is a homecoming, listener! Kylie Vincent is back on the pod to discuss her recent MS diagnosis and new show, Lesion Lady. During our catch up we discuss being a white woman with a cane, what your Sims worlds say about your childhood, and the pros and cons of visible vs. invisible disabilities. Ashley gets into her own journey with disability and accommodations, Kylie discusses becoming a bottom by medical necessity, and Jen pops in to discuss whether or not testicles can taste umami?!

This episode is double-trouble, listener! McKenzie Goodwin and Rachel Scanlon are the two hilarious hosts of the hit queer podcast Two Dykes and a Mic. We discuss their “lesbian hive mind,” phone sex with your spouse, celesbians, and the art of taking nudes at the airport. Ashley has sex that jump starts her period, Rachel’s best laid plans for a romantic night in are foiled, and McKenzie has a bit of a sex toy mystery.

This episode is fascinating, listener! Kiel Tutin is a dancer, choreographer, and creative director who has been the visionary behind performances like BLACKPINK’s headlining Coachella set and The JLO Show: Live in Las Vegas. We discuss the policing of popstars, the perils (and benefits?) of reading the comments, and the joy that comes from seeing old people dance. Ashley’s plans get lost in translation at a Berlin FLINTA flat, and Lizzy tries to clock other guests at a straight wedding. Kiel shares his experience growing up and thriving in the ultra-accepting world of high level dance competitions.

This episode is WILD, listener! Madison Sinclair is a comedian, writer (Comedy Central’s Roasts of Kevin Hart, Whitney Cummings, and Bert Kreischer), and CEO of The Bummer Shop, which sells booty shorts with sad facts. We discuss being “the man” in a femme for femme relationship, doing comedy with (and for) your dog, and the crime of being gay in the NFL. Ashley fumbles a flirtatious audience member after a show, and Lizzy gets kicked out of a timeshare presentation. Madison shares an iconic story about getting revenge on a homophobic comedian by sleeping with his ex…and there’s surprise knife play involved?!
